I picked this one up purely because of the covers that the author shared in the Sweetgrass Author event. I wanted to know if the series was something I would like and find out if it was something I wanted to splurge on. Plus, it's been a few weeks since I read something so dark, so I couldn't wait to get into this one. It ended up being intense. The age gap was cringy in the beginning. Still, I was really curious about the reverse age gap, plus them being students/teachers. But I was hooked once the story started going about 20-ish% into the book and couldn't put it down. I was literally about to DNF it when I finally got hooked. There were so many LOL moments, but this one had a little of everything. We had the age gap, the student/teacher, the motorcycle club, plus even ex/small-town chaos. To the point that I could not wait to read the next book!
